Christ, & the entire team were nothing short of terrific! The atmosphere, music & of course our bartender, Christ, were nothing short of outstanding. We cannot have asked for a better & more special experience on our visit to Montreal. We highly recommend this special sanctuary - You will not regret it! (Having visited Cloakroom & so many other bars in Montreal, this topped the list.)

Best bar in Montreal! The music was fantastic, the decor is A+, the vibe is so awesome, the drinks are amazing & the employees are so wonderful! We particularly loved Christ (the bartender) & sitting at the bar while he & his team did their thing. It was incredible to watch. A true art form! 10/10. Must go!

I recently visited a cocktail bar & had an exceptional experience, thanks to the bartender, Christ. The atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxed evening. Christ was incredibly easy to talk to, making the experience even more enjoyable. He truly knows his craft, creating some of the best cocktails I've ever tasted. Each drink was perfectly balanced, showcasing his expertise & passion for mixology. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great place to unwind, this bar, is it! Merci Beaucoup!

During a short visit of Montreal, found this awesome cocktail bar with lit vibe of live DJ playing cool music on Saturday night. We sat at the bar & only had drinks. The cocktails were so well balanced, with clear taste & neat finishing on the look. The bartenders are professional. The bar has stylish interior designs giving great atmosphere. Definitely will come again if visiting Montreal.

Good music but even better service. Antawn was super friendly, knowledge & personable & really went above & beyond to service us. Without him, the experience definitely would not be the same.
